One day while Ali was searching for fuel, he came upon a band of robbers leaving a cave. As he listened he heard them say, Close, Sesame. After they left, Ali Baba, remembering the words of the robbers, went to the cave and said, Open, Sesame. The door of the cave opened and Ali Baba entered. Inside he found treasure of every kind. Before he had time to take any of the treasure, obstacles began to confront him. He had forgotten the magic words. And to make matters worse, the robbers had returned. Ali Baba was caught. But by careful planning and study, and with the help of Morgiana, his comrade, Ali Baba overcame each of the forty thieves, and gained his share of the vast treasure. The magic words stood fixed in his mind. The door to the coveted chamber opened to his command. Thus Ali Baba became happy. His fellow men recognized him and he gained his rightful place in life. Each student of our school is an Ali Baba, a gay adventurer, who, aside from his daily work, finds time to pause and Search in the great cave of activities, for his share. It is hard to gain admittance to the coveted cave, for one must possess the magic words that open the door. Like Ali Baba, he must overcome each obstacle separately, then is the treasure available. Ali Baba was not greedy. He took what treasure he needed, each student should also take only those activities which he can manage. Thus the door of activities is open to you! Enter and take your share!

Miss Kathryn Stiles The Quill and Scroll was founded April 10, 1926, at the University of Iowa, to reward honor and achievement in journalistic work, and to form a national society that will foster only the best in journalistic work.

Mr. Jack Matthews The honor which all Central athletes strive to reach is the National Athletic Honor Society, which was organized at Central in 1929, with six charter members. The society tends to create fair play and clean work in sports and to stimulate a higher scholastical standing. The requirements for membership are that he must have earned one letter in a major sport or two letters in minor sports. He must show the highest type of sports- manship and citizenship and must have an average equal to or higher than the general school average. This club is entirely honorary and therefore no meetings have been held to discuss future plans except those meetings necessary for the election of officers and further N organization.

The Tower Club is t'entral's own honor society, and it was organized in 1921 with four charter members. Miss Freda Neal is sponsor of the club. The society has no officers and is purely honorary, therefore, any student who is able to meet the re- quirements is eligible for membership. The members of the organization are allowed to alter the requirenients if necessary, The Tower Club symbolizes the traditions and the background of our school. The high tower of Central has been the very heart of the building ever since the school was built. lt is honored and loved by all who are a part of Ventral. Thus, it is fitting that one of the greatest honor societies of the school be named for the tower. The requirements include leadership in extra curricular activities and scholastical work. The requirements are divided in accordance with the point system, and each candidate must reach a certain level before being admitted. A student does not need to be of senior classification to be admitted, but may enter as. soon as the necessary number of points are gained. As a Senior B a total of 250 points are necessary, 25 to 50 of which may be from activitiesg a Senior A must have 325 points and 35 to 70 may be obtained from activities. This induces students to participate in extra curricular activities as well as to strive for higher scholastic standing.

A liss Louise Lacy The Honorary French Club was organized in 1927 by Miss Sally Ann Martindale, instructor of the French language at that time at Central. Since then the club has been very active and among its most important events during this year was the Ban- quet given March 25, at the Book and Bowl. The Honorary French Club is, as its name signifies, purely an honorary society, and membership is gained by making a grade of S in French for six weeks. If a member falls below this grade, he is dropped from the club, but may become a member again by making the grade. Miss Louise Lacy is the present sponsor of the organization. A movement has been made towards forming a city-wide French club, which will not be connected with the school in any way, but will be composed of persons through- out the city who are interested in the study of the French language. No meetings have been held as yet, and the organization of the club will be considered temporary until the first meeting will be held. fe 1 c wrwwrsii ' I' 'SING I 1 5 I M. msn xy ,ig ppp ii vf' r .

R liss Hester Robinson The membership of the Brush and Pencil Ulub is open to all high school students who show artistic talent. To gain admittance, the candidates must apply and be voted upon by the club. If their applications are accepted they are required to submit a draw- ing made during the club meeting at which they were originally proposed. The draw- ing must then be presented to the club for discussion of its originality and merit. The prospective member is not admitted until the drawing is accepted by a majority vote of the club. Because of its limited membership the club has not entered into any great activi- ties. The first semester, its project was a calendar illustration with block prints made by the members of the club. The second semester, a detailed study of the human figure was made under the direction of Miss Hester Robinson, sponsor.

M i ss Beulah Mae Bennett The Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Beulah Mae Bennett, has had a very successful year, for they have appeared in public many times throughout the city. They have broadcast over the radio several times, and have sung at numerous churches and Sunday schools in the city. The colorful choir which sang in the Central auditorium for the Christmas and Easter programs were the outstanding performances of the club, at Central. They also have, during the year, sung for the Parent-Teachers' Association, and various programs. and have been praised for their numbers on Founder's Day program. Within the club, competitive tryouts were held for the annual school musical play, The Marriage of Nannettej' which was presented on the nights of March 20 and 21. During the second semester, the entire work and practice on this opera were held in the classroom, as it was a class project. , Only twenty members of the club from the thirty-eight enrolled will graduate, so M the splendid work of the class will continue. fr l x A L t Q 1 ' Mn 'Y V ' 'Q' 'Ba Us i , if XISOSJ I L 28 1 5 . i t 4934 i 4 , .

Mr. Raymond Elliott The Boys' Glee Club is chosen by tryouts at the beginning of each semester. The club meets each day and on Wednesdays combines with the Girls' Glee Club to practice for auditorium programs. On January 9, the Boys' Glee Club, under the personal direc- tion of Mr. Raymond Elliott, its sponsor, gave a very original program in the audi- torium. Members of the club have been selected at various times during the year to sing at assemblies, and Kennison Hettick, the secretary-treasurer of the club, was selected as one of the leads in the opera, The Marriage of Nannettef' One of the most promising combination of voices can be found in the Boys' Glee Club which is now under the supervision of Mr. Raymond Elliott, a newcomer to Central. The club has furnished numerous delightful entertainments for Central audiences, both as an individual group and in conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club. The club consists of thirty-four boys, who by special direction are improving their vocal talent. Their most outstanding feature of this year's happenings was the success of the boys' portrayal in the Hklarriage of Nannettej' the comic opera presented so effectively to Central patrons and students W ISI' wk!

Pennington The Shield and Spear is the military honor society at Central. It was first organ- ized in 1930, with Ferris Spoor, M. J. Rice, Homer Bowman, Herschel Goldberg, and James Mitchelhill as charter members. It has progressed greatly, and now has over fifty members. Emblazoned on the emblem of the society are the A, S, and C. They stand respec- tively for Ability, Service, and Character, the three necessary qualities for a successful life. These are the terms which the founders of the Shield and Spear consider vital as a background for the society. The candidates for membership must submit their names to the military instructor. When they are approved by him and the faculty, as to requirements, of being in the upper third of the class, and of having outstanding ability in military work, they are al- lowed to enter. The new member must promise to protect his country, always to practice patriotism, never to bear arms against his country, to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and never to commit wrong against a fellow member of the Shield and Spear.

This year, after more than thirty-five years of development, it is at its peak. During those years, Sinbad and his crew have left in the minds of their opponents, ringing memories of games Won and lost, but always with that superb skill and sportsmanship of the never-to-be-forgotten crew. Sinbad's recent voyages, recorded in this section of our book, are adventures never to be forgotten by the sailors or by the staunch supporters of the crew. There are the voyages into Gridland, the Valley of Basketball, and the Land of the Fleet Footed, and numerous others. In all of these the crew has never failed to leave a good account of themselves. This year of nineteen hundred thirty-one blings to a close the voyage of our friend, Sinbad, from this old port. Never again will the crew sail forth and return smiling from a victorious adventure. The old port is doomed. The crews will continue to venture forth from the new port, and with that Great Sailor behind them we feel sure that the new spirit will continue where old Sinbad left off, that it will ever grow and strive for higher achievements. -2 Q bfX.m?xslfii:,.fvX,, Wxi fx 'eisaxmad 35 Vwxlxlh ' A 3 we W ri Q, ' , 15 iw. 1931 A f BM gf Q , A L of f N , , -Y im 1' M K Q' ' A . it ,HQ , S? we , JS if .- W i .l 4 E, 3 MR.

This hefty fellow led the team to numerous victories on the gridiron last season. He played his last game for Central at the berth of fullback and captained the last game of the last team of our old school on the hill. It was a victory similar to that of a large majority of games played by teams bearing the name of dear old Central. Fritz, a 200 pounder, led the city scoring with 49 points and captained the mythical all-city team. He finished his fourth year on the Central team, where he played guard his first year, tackle the next, and fullback the last two. Although we will miss the services of Cronkite during the coming season, we feel sure that the captain elect, Ki Framer, guard, will do more to fill the bill than anyone we know. 1930-'31 FOOTBALL TEAM Q L . nl X.M5-si-fvgfX.lSO ,l'X,l'X 37 YI 61' , K L T nys?

The Blue and White basketeers scored 352 points to their op- ponents 254. The season started with a call that brought out approxi- mately eighty candidates. Only three were letter men: Thompson, Geiger, and Ford. However, there was a great deal of prospective varsity material from the last year's reserve squad. The fellows under Coach Jack Mat- thews practiced long and hard each night to get into form. The members of the squad were: Gene Thompson, a letter man and center: Vernon Geiger, a letter man and forward, Maurice Ford, a letter man and forward, back again for another semester sf in the game: Jim- mie Smith, a hot shot forward who was unable to play last yearg Alfred Sutton, from last year's reserves, a guardg Norman Gibson, a guard who played with Easton High for the past three yearsg Marshall Geller, a member of last year's Freshman tea m played forwardg Sneed Schmidt, aguard from last year's squad: Fred Smith.

The Central track season for 1930 was highly successful. Even before the call for track had been issued, many had already been practicing, and when the official call came, a great number re- sponded. Coach Matthews worked hard with the group to get them into shape for the first meets. The first indoor meet was the K. C. A. C. meet at Kan- sas City, Febru- ary 8. Nelson won the 50-yard dash, and the r e l a y team placed sec- ond. The small squad had shown its worth. Central made a rather poor show- ing at the Kemper Indoor meet, March 23. Smith was the only man to place, with a third in the half mile. Only a few men made the trip however. At the Missouri State Indoor meet the next week, March 29, Central tied for third place with 12 points. Nelson won first place in the 60-yard dash. Don Smith and Larry McClure placed second and third, respec- tively, in the 440-yard dash, and the 440 relay team received second place.

Nelson placed first in the 100-yard dash with Hutchinson getting third in the 220-yard dash. Smith ran a fine race for a first place in the half mile. Deam Ferris placed second in the mile run. Nelson won first and Schmidt second in the broad jump. In the State Meet, Central's team nosed out of first place by less than a point and one-half, and was barely beaten out of sec- ond place by one- fifth of one point. First place in the meet scored 23 5-6 points: second place, 22955 and Central 22 2-5. the 220-yard dash. Nelson broke two state records by running the cen- tury in 9.8 sec- onds and the 220- yard dash in 21.5. Hutchinson w o n second place in Glenn and Mcliin- ley tied for fourth place honors in the pole vault, while the 880-yard re- lay team took first place in that event. The relay team was composed of Nel- son, Stuber, Hutchison, and Letts. And besides the two records he had won previously, Nelson won second in the broad jump. Salis- di bury completed Central's scoring by winning fourth place in the discus. At the Maryville Meet, April 26, Central won in Class A, for schools of 350 students or more, with 39 points. guts.

Her father was horri- fied for Schar-riar had lost all of his trust in women and had taken tragic steps toward showing it. He had demanded a new wife every day, so that she might be put to death on the morrow. The Grand Vizier implored of Scheherazade to see reason-but Father, she would say, I assure you that I will not be put to death as the many other women before me have, for I am going to help the king and show him his mis- take. Scheherazade's father finally consented to this mad adventure. On the eve of her wedding, Scheherazade began to tell the king some of her charm- ing stories. King Schar-riar was entranced, appalled, and by delaying her own death, Scheherazade led the foolish king to see his mistake. Scheherazade represents the Faculty and King Schar-riar represents the Students. The Faculty leads us to see our mistakes and to correct them. They teach us to be independent of others and to he prepared for life. 26 A-SAT 34' w l. if z My , X 1 m .

Principal Vice Principal Dean of Women Central High School Administrators From a small group of students studying under the supervision of E. B. Neely in 1861, Central high school has grown and developed until she guides the destinies of more than 1,100 young people through those three years spent in gleaning the knowl- edge of books and of life. This school has stood forth in the minds of her followers as a beacon light guiding them to harbor. Central has always been a high school of the first class and is on the list of accredited high schools of the North Central Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Six years ago Miss Calla Edington Varner became principal of Central high school on the hill. For many years she had already been its vice president and thus her ap- pointment as principal was a wise step, for she had had a chance to acquaint herself with the school system and its students. During these six years Miss Varner has very capably fulfilled her position and through her initiative and understanding of methods of an organization, Central's own system of organization has become one of the best in this section of the country. Mr. Leonard M. Haines has for one year been Central's vice principal and director of athletics. He also has general supervision of finance and has greatly assisted the students at the beginning of each semester in changing their programsl Hle has very capably served as an adviser to the boys. Miss Louise E. Barthold has for five years been the efficient Dean of Girls at Central and the sponsor of student control. She has charge of the checking of at- tendance, through a well organized system. Miss Barthold has very successfully spon- sored the Student Council and its activities 52.65-si-ii:..!'X,lSi'X,l'X.l'X lil 'fawsiaew V0 W Ya Am W' Ng 1, MQ' Q A-K A T 't W ft 'Y 4934 X9 Q Farewell Tribute By MISS VALLA E. VARNER, Principal To be called upon to give a parting message to the Class of 1931 is a distinct honor-not because this is the largest class Central has ever known, nor yet because it is probably the last class to go out from our present walls, but because, quantity and chronology aside, the Class of 1931 demands appreciation on the basis of quality. We gladly pay this tribute to you and gladly express our affection and admiration for the many fine young men and women who make up the ranks of your class. In the minds of your many friends here there can be no doubt that your ultimate weight in the balance pan of life will be considerable and that your occupancy of the fairways of existence will add glory thereto. We are glad you came to dwell for a time at Central and if you go forth with more poise, a little more gentleness, a better understanding of the true grace of living- Central has done well, and we are proud of her handiwork. When your days here are but a brilliant hue in the silken skeins of memory, may your love of Fentral be undiminished and your loyalty to integrity and fine living be unimpaired. f Q -Sbxx. xrsaslxfx 1:5 I I i 6 Q A-SLT N ,' ms: g , English Department This department is the largest in the school. Four years of English are com- pulsory but during the fourth year a choice of e i t h e r Journalism o r Speech is offered in place of English 7 a11d 8. A course in composition is the main purpose of Soph- omore English. The stu- dents write as well as read and discuss modern essays and short stories. The Junior year comprises a study of novels, modern poetry and d rama. A course in American liter- ature has been added. There are three essen- tial divisions in English 7 and 8: Lines of literary development, a study of the lives and ideals of im- portant English authors, and important pieces of English literature which have been written during the past twelve centuries. This class published the magazine, Tower Gleamsf' The Speech course in- cludes public speaking, and a study of the drama. A one-act play is present- ed each spring by a cast chosen from these classes. The Journalism classes publish the weekly paper, the Central Outlook, and this year published a spe- cial Faper paper, the Kaper Klapperf' The Wakitan board is selected 1 5 lllg mg the the ard the 3 4 from this group. The ac- tual experience of report- writing articles, edit- copy and making up paper is invaluable to students. The stand- of work is raised by making only those stu- dents in the upper fourth of their class eligible for subject. Reading from left to right -Miss Sarah Spencer, R. A.: Miss Ruth Rreit, R.

Nearly half the entire number of students are enrolled in these classes. All the languages are taught with the aid of maps and pictures. Pro- jects are used extensively. The Latin classes help to create a literary apprecia- tion: the French classes are directed toward ena- bling students to carry on on ordinary conversation: the Spanish c 0 u r s e is strictly practical since the use of business Spanish is taught. A year of science is re- q u i r e d for graduation. Classes in biology, physi- ology, physics and chem- istry make up this depart- ment. Biology is the most popular subject. It in- c l u d e s an elementary study of botany, zoology and physiology. The phys- iology classes stress pro- per care of the body and health rules. Physics class consists mostly of explan- ations and demonstrations of the behavior of inani- mate things, and the phe- nomena of the electrical, mechanical and physical world.

The course consists of world history, United States history and Ameri- can problems. American problems is the studying and discussing of the eco- nomic, social and civic problems encountered in every day life. United States history is a study of the events of the past that are of use to the future. A knowledge of the background of our democracy enables the stu- dent to meet better the problems of today. The students are trained to value the various courses of information, and to de- cide upon the greater or lesser importance of events by an extensive use of reference books. Miss Louise Barthold, dean of girls, also instructs two classes in addition to the teachers pictured. An un- derstanding of the devel- opment and progress of the world, and the institu- tions and terms of today are given the student through a study of world history. In the physical educa- tion classes the modern system of pleasurable ac- tivities is used. Exercise is obtained in games. This course offers mental as well as physical recrea- tion and provides benefi- cial social contact. Reading: from left lo right Mr. R. E. Stone. N, A.: Miss Helen Groves, B.

It has an extensive curricu- lum which consists of commercial law, industrial geography, penmanship and spelling, bookkeeping, business English, type- writing and stenography. In the typewriting classes accuracy with speed is emphasized. The students in the stenog- raphy classes take dicta- tion of articles or actual business letters. The book- keeping course is for the purpose of preparing the student for either home or office accounting. Busi- ness English is chiefly a study of the English of commerce and office train- ing. The penmanship and spelling course is made up of spelling matches and writing drills. Commercial law includes a study of the legality of papers, notes, and contracts, and industrial geography em- phasizes the relation of geographical features to commerce. The mathematics de- partment is made up of classes of algebra, plane geometry, college algebra, solid geometry and trigo- nometry. The chief aim of geometry is to develop the reasoning power, but the application of geometry to trades and professions is also considered. Emphasis is laid on the solving of formulas and the applica- tions of these in working problems in the trigonom- etry class. Reading from left to right -Mr. ltlilan B. VVallace, B.

It includes a study of color and design, draw- ing and perspective, com- mercial art, and stage- craft. Outdoor sketching tours are conducted in the perspective classes, and interior decorating is stu- died in the color and de- sign course. The s ta ge- craft class was formed last year. The history of the theater is studied as a foundation for the subject. Great emphasis is laid on the decorating and an ef- fort is made to express the atmosphere of the play in the setting. Unusual lighting effects and new arrangements of painted scenery, curtains, and plastic pieces are tried All the scenery for the school's dramatic produc- tions are made by this class. The music course in- cludes the orchestra, band, Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs, and the chorus classes. Programs are pre- sented at school at various times by these organiza- tions and the annual school operetta is pro- duced by them. The band played at all home athletic contests. The two glee clubs have sung for va- rious churches and din- ners and have broadcast over the radio. The library, which is used by both the students of Central and Junior Fol- lege, is equipped with ref- erence books, current mag- azines and pamphlets. All business of the s c h o ol is carried on through the office. Reading from left to right -Miss Hester R 0 lm i n s o n, ll. A.: Miss .lean Trowbridge, Miss Beulah Mae Bennett, B. A., M.

Many students chose the foods department be- cause it is different and interesting. One does not learn merely the method of cooking various dishes but each meal is taken up separately and the foods involved are discussed. 4 The most important part of the domestic science course is the clothing de- partment. The student is taught a knowledge of textiles so that she may make suitable selections of materials. .- u Students desiring to become engineers find the mechanical drawing course a great k t benefit.

Sophomore Class History Many years ago there lived in ancient Cairo, a young man named Ali. His father was a merchant of great wealth and Ali had many riches, precious jewels, gold and many garments of silk. However, Ali was not content to be just a merchant like his father, for he wished to go out into the world and search for knowledge, seek honor and the greater things which he desired. His father offered to Ali a rich caravan and numerous slaves if he would only stay in Cairo with him. But Ali ever striving for these greater things which he desired to his utmost, refused his father's generous offer, and set out, accompanied only by one faithful servant. N Each Central student is a typical Ali who at the beginning of the Sophomore 51 i N ISOXIXI g 9 ms: g , We At , mg' fS fi ffwf S Lacuna vvuuuinn, urzuie LJUIIIIIS, 1JUl'ULlly lviulxrtzllltf, l1t'ICll Jl0IUf?1Y10, VAISU3 iVl00l -5, lVliil'V-ml Plummer.

Sophomore Class History year set out to search the vast stores of knowledge which Central high school possess- es, in an effort to secure and build a career for himself. As Ali was guided by this faithful slave throughout the year, so have the Sophomores been guided very capably by their faithful sponsor, Miss Hester DeNeen. She advised the Sophomores in all matters and never failed to do her part when they seemed to falter on the way. There were several students chosen as leaders, who were capable in every respect to guide the others on their three year quest. Headed by Alfred Sutton, president, Mason Austin, vice president, Virgil Woodside, secretary, and Margaret Bowen, treasurer, the class was more sure of their way now, and went on.

The huge monster, Failure, loomed as a barrier before them at every turn, but with the help of the kind goddess, Study, the class pushed forward, nearer and nearer the goal, which they were sure was somewhere in the dim future. Ali, too. in his famous quest, came upon many hardships-huge dragons and mon- sters, which seemed impossible to conquer. But Ali had a strong and persistent mind -he was self-confident, and would not give up. The Sophomore year is a time when giving up means complete failure.

Sophomore Class History is the first year at Central, and it is necessary for each and every member to adjust himself to the newness of it all. This Sophomore class has brilliantly succeeded in doing this, and in overcoming every obstacle barring their pathway to success. The class ever striving to gain a small share of honor, stopped on the road and gave a tea in honor of the mothers of the class. Margaret Bowen acted as general chairman and the tea was an excellent start on their way to recognition. With the praises of their first success still ringing, the class gave a play, entitled The Ghost Story, by Booth Tarkington, at the weekly assembly in the high school auditorium. The cast was headed hy Don Smith and Ellen Porter, the minor parts being taken '.1xmssf.ss.z'x.rsa , 'x w as? 77 x V1 S 'fl .MSI E Q an Q s e l l 495' if vm, Q 'Z I l l Ho Room 24-Miss Evelyn Moore, Sponsor.

These people showed how cap- able they were in carrying out the great ambitions of their class and displaying un- usual talent. The play portrayed a young man who wished to tell his sweetheart he loved her and to propose to her. However, before he could summon up enough courage to tell her, a group of friends came to spend the evening and interrupted his proposal. Wishing to frighten them away, he told a ghost story, but much to his disgust the story had the opposite effect and they were afraid to leave. Nevertheless, the play ended happily and the belated proposal was finally a success. S- tash' IXISISIXIX M ?l. SlS.d'i n in E t iki - 1 4-4, v A - v v Q W' V' 'W'..i, 78 8127?

The class presenting a clever fashion show, which included such students as George Fenner, Lynn Gordon, Robert Bigham, Mendell Kelly, Kenneth Higginbotham, Daniel Arst, and Don Smith, acting as models, was another success. As their first year's journey drew to a close the Sophomores, like Ali, who ac- complished very much during his first year's quest, were well on their way to success, and inspired by their past successes were ready to start their second year at Central on the hilltop, and they hoped to gain as much glory during their Junior year as they had the preceding year.

These boys, though young, were anxious to learn the technique of the various sports so that they might form strong varsity teams within the next two years to uphold and carry on the colors of their class and bring home many trophies of victories to adorn the halls of the new Central high school building.

Junior Class History the class presented its annual tea in the school library. The guests were received by the class officers, and by Miss Louise Lacy and Miss Calla E. Varner. It was a bril- liant affair and the Juniors were filled with pride on their first success, Soon after the tea, the class presented the play, The Florist Shop by Winifred Hawkridge, in the high school auditorium at the weekly assembly. The plot centered around a young lady who had the habit of sending flowers, free of charge, to the cus- tomers whom she liked. She did this in an effort to secure business for the florist shop in which she was employed. In this way she united a pair of lovers and brought about their marriage. Finally, however, the young lady's employer grew tired of the practice of sending his flowers to everyone, so he discharged her.

The capable cast included Mildred Kelly, Jack Nicholas, Beryl Bailey, George Porter and Sam Pomerantz. Ali, too, has gained honor. He had taken part in a gay festival which was held at Bagdad in honor of the benevolent gods of the Arabians. Ali tried his best to ful- fill his part to the utmost, and he had succeeded. He gained honor and was feted by many of the wealthy men of Bagdad. He received many rich offers to remain in the beautiful city and live a life of ease-however, he refused, as he believed his goal lay still farther on the wide road ahead. The Juniors next went down the side road that led to the gay frolic of the Capers, Q and presented a side show, Amateur Night at the Kick-A-Bit Theater. The cast per- k E!

At the gay carnival in one of the small villages on the way, Ali was persuaded by his friend to stop and rest. They pitched their tents on the hill-top and joined the gay crowd of merry makers. After spending a joyous night of frolic, Ali again set forth on his quest. Again the Junior class kept doggedly on the long way, and though they were forced to suffer many storms and squalls, they always came out victor.

As Ali stopped at the royal palace of the Sultan, he helped to entertain the royal highness. The Sultan was greatly pleased and heartily congratulated Ali on his part of the entertainment. And, like Ali of Vairo, after another year of searching for the greater knowledge which education offers, the Juniors have all seen that the goal for which they have been seeking, is in sight. With a little careful planning and help, their last year at Central high school is sure to be more brilliant than the rest and it is sure to be filled with treasure and honor, in both scholastic standing and activities.

The football season having ended, the lads of the Junior class next turned to the basketball court to carry further the high ideals of the class. They strived to do their best and many of the number were awarded letters for their good work. Those who were out for the teams were: Winfield Mason, Rudy Boberg, Harold Redmon, Aubrey Jackson, Isadore Daynosky, Tom Meier, William Dannevik, Richard Mordaunt, Tom Potter, George Porter, Robert Glenn, Hugo Pugh, James Rich, and Robert Muir.

A meeting was held in the school auditorium and a candy sale was planned. It was held April 22, during home room period A com- mittee was appointed by George Porter, president of the class, to make and carry out the plans of the sale. The Committee was headed by Geraldine Thomas. Under her guid- ance the sale was a success and the Junior class felt more capable in planning its party. Many of the brilliant Juniors tried out for the annual Insignia examinations and came through with flying colors. The results showed that the Junior class was cap- able of proving it ranked high in scholastic ability as well as high activity ability. The scholastic standing of the class was further shown by the large number of Juniors on the semester honor roll.

With warm, lazy days fast approaching, many of the students relinquished their hold on school life and became affected with what is commonly known as spring fever. But the busy Junior class never heeded the inviting opportunities to put school studies out of their mind and play awhile, but kept steadily ahead, ever planning for the great event.

Junior Class History students went to the gay affair. The Junior class was well rewarded for its efforts. The party was a great success. The Juniors had again seen the goal. They had tried hard all through their Junior year, trying hard to live up to the high and worthy traditions of their beloved school on the hill. Many problems had confronted the class on its road to glory and fame, but with grim determination the students had kept steadily on the narrow path, sure that the goal was shining some- where in the lofty tower. Now, as the year had drawn to a close, the Junior class was satisfied, because they had seen that goal, and were determined to keep the bright light shining during their Senior year in the new school, and to live up to the worthy traditions of Oske-Wow-Wow.

An inscription on a brass horse told them to rub the hand of the horseman and it would direct them to the City of Brass. Doing this, the horseman turned a different direction and they traveled on. A man imprisoned in a pillar of stone told them that there were bottles in the Sea of El-Karkar. Finally, they reached the City of Brass, but could not find an entrance into it. After much difficulty the Sheik gained the city by repeating certain words and opened one of the gates by a trick device. They found everything lifeless, for a famine had destroyed the city. They brought many jewels from the city and went on to the sea. There they found twelve bottles of brass and took them back to the Prince, who opened them, and the imprisoned genii came forth. So the Seniors journey from a small beginning as Freshmen, through four years of hard work until they reach the wonderful and great City of Brass, Graduation, and carry away the prize. 1 N 'fA.M Q:,.!'X1SOS.l'X,l 'iawxmti 99 'I QIQ X5 , Y 1 Q W vi V 'Z President .......,..-..
